[pfSense Support] PPTP password issue
Hi. We are running 2.0-RC1 on our systems. I recently assigned a PPTP user the following password: x2758>A6g924"B The webConfigurator accepts this password but we cannot get it to authenticate. We tried resetting it in the webConfigurator but in the end we just changed it to something different. I did not play around with it to see which character(s) were causing the problem. We were using Mac OS 10.6 PPTP client. Assuming the problem wasn't the PPTP client in Mac OS 10.6, are there limitations as to what characters may be used for the password with pfSense? I don't recall any warnings or messages in the pfSense webConfigurator stating otherwise. regards, Ernst - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

The only other character restriction is the password cannot begin with ! because mpd interprets that as not a password but a command to use for authentication. There is input validation in 2.0 to prevent that, though maybe not the quote. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
